Jackpot Deuces Poker is a version of video poker that is produced by Microgaming, one of the world's leading producers of online gaming software. It is one of the most entertaining versions of video poker you'll ever find, because it has both wild cards and a progressive jackpot.

It is a single-hand game (meaning it is not multi-hand) and carries with it a five-coin maximum bet. However, you must have that maximum bet out if you wish to qualify to win the progressive jackpot, which stats at $5000 and "progresses" from there.

The objective in this game is to compile the best five-card hand possible. The Deuces are automatically held for the player, and the software actually makes the decision as to which cards to hold, according to what is mathematically most sound. It is up to you to override those decisions if you see fit. All of the controls are at your disposal. Read Full Review

Jackpot Deuces Poker is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, with all four Deuces in the deck counted as wild cards. Deuces, of course, are cards that have a face value of "2," and this software automatically assigns that wild card to ensure the highest possible winning combination. The cards are shuffled before each and every deal, and so they come out randomly.

There are controls across the bottom of this interface which give you the option to "Hold," "Draw" and, of course, "Deal.".

When you click "Deal," you are dealt five cards, and the process begins by which the software identifiers any wild cards and holds them, not to mention the hand that has the best mathematical chance to win. You will then make your own decision as to what to do with this hand. If you want to hold different cards, you can click on those, and click on others to discard them. You then "Draw" to settle on your final five-card hand.

When this process is over, it is immediately determined whether you have qualified for any payout, which begins with a minimum hand value of Three of a Kind.

There is a progressive jackpot in this game, and you can win it by achieving a hand with the 10, Jack, Queen, King and Ace of diamonds, which constitutes a "Diamond Royal Flush." You will have to have the maximum bet of $5 out there to qualify for the progressive jackpot.
